Introduction
In this blog post i am going to attempt to learn more about my chosen genre of comedy. I am researching this using "comedy films a teachers guide" by Brian Dunbar.
Slapstick
Slapstick comedy is the earliest and most popular form of comedy in the silent era; it evolved a lot of movement and a form of "Obligatory chase".
France dominated comedy before 1914, where the company 'Pathe' started producing films on a production line basis; they then later signed Andre Deed . Andre Reed was well known for his music hall and acrobatic background in which he was very successful.
At this time in the history of comedy the type of costume indicated the type of comedy instead of the personality of the comedian. So if they were dressed as a clown it would set the "type" of comedy.
